damn...here this thread is! sorry about the delay. i did take some pics while curly was here. they didn't turn out very good though. i don't know if it's my camera, me or both...
anywho, it was awesome meeting curly and talkig with him. i got to climb in the cockpit for myself too. i gotta say, that car is amazing! i can't wait to see it finished.
How many cars does Madcurl currently own? How many completed projects? How many are in a shop under work?

The Firebird hood vents are finished. I sent new pics to Exoticse he might have time to post. These are perhaps the best ones so far? There're nice and straight. In two weeks we move onto the front flaring. Stay tuned.
hehe. This is the diagram I used:

As you can see, the deck lid is functional as too, the front vents on #11 (no pics). The #15's front scoop have not been cut opened....yet. However, just like #11 they too will sport the openings.
Now that number #15 has settled in back home in California (after a multi-month florida stay) madcurl has picked up the pace towards getting her finished.
His latest,...Operation Beefcake !
Just like he did on the rear, curly adding an extra front fender flare to the front to bulk things up to cover the massive front rims.
Making some progress !
Flaring out the front also to meet the soon to be modified nose.
No time yet for the nose !

Quick question. What is that on the tires/rims in the above pics.?

It took two days to complete the task. The first day was prep and trying to decide as-to how the beef was to be sliced and glazed onto the fender rack? I used a aluminum 90 degree 2x2" four foot long piece from Ace Hardware for $8 bucks. One can of long Kitty hair ( forgot to take a pic of the product). Reuben (Trends) was working on the glazing as I hook-up the beef. Also, if you've noticed....less beef was used for the fronts vs the rear.
Hang-up: Once we figured out how to bolt and rivet the beef we then needed to make a bracket for the Corvette side marker lamps. Although the area isn't finished and shaped to the actual size it will no doubt be a great location with need bolt-ups to support the fender. The front side nose will sport the F430 vents. This will allow for two bolts to be placed between the two metal brackets once the lower portion is made.
I now have to design and aluminum piece to hook-up with the top fender brace and for venting too. As Tony noted, the front will sport the IRM Fiero Warehouse spoiler. That will no doubt be last on the list. Front 255's are now wrapped by the beefie flares.
Edit: I got four front fenders for $10 bucks a piece.

absolutely amazing. and just like your rear flares, this has gotten me thinking a lot. but i think i'll leave mine as be, considering it's already at the shop being prepped for paint.
